I'm an adopted Texan. As they say, "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could!" I post pictures and opinions as suits my mood, mostly because I can. Hooray Internet!

So far I have three blogs here. By the Way is the oldest. I started it in 2003. I lost a couple of years to Vox because I was too lazy to bother to export when they shut down. I consider it an exercise in accepting impermanence. When I followed my husband to Singapore for his first expat assignment, I started (T)expatriate: A Southern Girl in Singapore. That covers 2010 and 2011, give or take. Next came Oslo, and (T)expat 2: Norwegian Boogaloo, in 2012. Now I'm back home, and back on By the Way.

Pix live on Flickr. I toss links out on Twitter when I feel like it. I'm still not sure what to do with G+ but I kinda like it.

Dude, That's My Dad!

Here he is rebuilding the generator in his GMC motorhome (scroll down to March 15, 2006). If you just happen to have a GMC coach lying around, this is the place to take it. Dad says they do everything from insane engine rebuilds to custom slide-out additions. My dad was a salesman, so he can detect bullshit from miles away, and he has said for years that these guys are the real deal. At this point, I'd practically (but not quite ;-) trust them with myBabyCar.
